Matthew and Marc have some great info on their pages, but it would be nice to get some interactive discussions going about ecmread.py and the various data hosting options.
This forum would probably be the best spot for it as it's public.
If you want to start a topic, it can be stickied here so it's easy to find/view.

Do I just point it at
http://smartenergygroups.com/sites/<siteid> and tell my site to start discovery at the same time?
Do I need to tell it somehow to send the packet format a certain way?
Ran through this in an email recently:
Part 1:
- First thing you need to do is log onto SmartEnergyGroups and create a Site.
That will give you a site token to be used with configuration, enter a name
and hit save.
- Then click the site, and click "Add Device", choose "Energy Meter", name it,
and it "Save".
- When the device is created, you'll have the other value you need for
configuration.
- Go through the device and delete every stream by clicking the "Change
Settings" link on each stream.
- Input the Site Key (site token) and Device Name, and pick the
channels/pulse/temps you want to display in the configuration software, hit
Save.
- Go back to SmartEnergyGroups and click "Tools", then "Discoveries", then
"Discover all my stuff" on the site you created.
This should detect all your channels eventually on the device, the next part
is tedious.
Part 2:
- Click on "Streams" and find your device. You'll see a list of all the
streams for your device, there will be a radio button selector for each
stream.
- You need to set every stream to "None", then click the save button at the
bottom.
- For every stream labelled with Wh, you'll need to click the > button,
click the "Edit" button, then enter a calibration value of 0.000277.
Hit Save, then go back to the same area and hit "Clear all data" as all the
data up to the point of saving the calibration value will be incorrect.
